During a recent visit to the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals, where she met children getting fitted for braces, Queen Elizabeth revealed a surprising fact: she once wore braces herself. Imagine that! The 93-year-old monarch shared her experience with a young patient named Ilia Aristovich, who’s just 10 years old. “I had wires, luckily it was a very long time ago,” she told the young boy with a warm smile. She reassured him that all the effort is worth it in the end, proving that even royalty has to go through some of the same challenges as the rest of us.
